Patches have been issued for Gutenberg 4.0 through 3.6 so that they automatically disable the plugin early enough in the 5.0 upgrade process.

For the upgrade process, core will focus on messaging introducing the new editor on the post-upgrade page (aka the About page), while the Classic Editor plugin will be responsible for any communication encouraging users to give the new editor a try.

From the REST API desk, we are in need of some eyes/contributions on both https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/11280 and https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/9151

From the JS desk, focus has shifted to generating the core JS code documentation on developer.wordpress.org and making it searchable. Also, the JS language packs are almost here!

There are a number of PHP related issues on the milestone for contributors who don’t feel comfortable with React. For anyone able to test, review, or work on core PHP issues, check this report: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/6

We still have a few more bug scrubs coming up this week, and could use some contributors there. A new set will be posted soon, too.
